TECHNOLOGICAL CORPORATION OF ANDALUSIA (CTA)
CTA is a private foundation that was born from a public-private partnership. For more than 13 years, CTA has been supporting R&D activities through financing, mentoring and cooperation with main Andalusian stakeholders, emerging as a singular multi-sectorial, innovation cluster. For the past 13 years, more than 670 R&D business projects have been funded by CTA with more than €M168.
Currently, CTA is owned by more than 160 companies, 70% of them SMEs, in 7 main European industrial priority sectors: ICT, Aerospace and productive processes, Agrifood, Biotechnology, Building and civil engineering, Energy and Environment, and Leisure and Tourism.
CAMPUS E.S.P.R.I.T. INDUSTRIES (GIP-Redon)
GIP Campus ESPRIT Industries of Redon (Brittany, France) is a young school of supply chain Management, purchasing, cybersecurity, electronics, and sustainable development. Each year, students are learning innovations in these fields. Partnerships with industries allow them to learn in an operational framework as managers and manufacturers are participating to the courses. Moreover, GIP Campus ESPRIT Industries develops research on supply-chain, electronics, energy, mobility thanks to its lab, research-professors and PhD Students.
CIEMAT - PSA
CIEMAT is a public research body assigned to the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities under the General Secretariat for Scientific Policy Coordination, focusing on energy and environment and the technologies related to them. It has offices in several different regions of Spain, and its activity is structured around projects which form a bridge between R&D&I and social interest goals.
Its mission is to contribute to sustainable development of the country and to the quality of life of its citizens through the generation and application of scientific and technological knowledge. Its goal is to maintain its position as a centre of excellence in energy, environment and technology and in basic research.
The Plataforma Solar de Almería (PSA), a dependency of CIEMAT, is the largest concentrating solar technology research, development and test center in Europe. PSA activities are integrated in the CIEMAT organization as an R&D division of the Department of Energy.
CANARY ISLANDS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (ITC). TECHNOLOGY CENTER OF THE CANARY ISLANDS GOVERNMENT
ITC carries out projects and services in the areas of Research, Development and Innovation, in close collaboration with universities, R&D institutions and companies from the Canary Islands and abroad.
Our main goals: to promote and support the technological development within the Archipelago and to encourage and drive forward RTD projects, in order to foster productive development, as well as business innovation in the Canary Islands. Our areas of technological expertise: Water Technologies, Renewable Energies, Environmental Analysis, Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering, Scientific and Technological Computing.
UNIVERSITY OF EVORA – CHAIR IN RENEWABLE ENERGIES (UEVORA)
Created in 2010, the Chair in Renewable Energies of the University of Évora (UEvora RE Chair) has soon defined as main research topic the use of Concentrating Optics in Solar Energy conversion technologies as means of widening the range of applications as well as of increasing the competitiveness of their use.
At the core of INIESC, the National Research Infrastructure in Solar Energy Concentration, UEvora RE Chair develops research along the main vectors defining the role of solar energy technologies as a solution for the Energy Transition: PV or CSP power generation; thermal or electrical energy storage; solar energy for energy supply to Industry and Agriculture; solar resource and Energy system integration strategies.
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CORK (UCC) - MaREI
MaREI is the marine and renewable energy research, development and innovation Centre supported by Science Foundation Ireland. It combines the expertise of a wide range of research groups and industry partners, with the shared mission of solving the main scientific, technical and socio-economic challenges across the marine and renewable energy sectors. MaREI is coordinated by the Environmental Research Institute (ERI) at University College Cork.
University College Cork is an award-winning institution with a history of independent thinking stretching back over 170 years. UCC is proud to be ranked in the top 2% of universities in the world. The beautiful university opened its gates to just 115 students in 1849 and now has a student population of over 21,000.
Wezen Consulting
Wezen Consulting is an engineering consulting specialized in the development of efficient solutions for the water cycle, since the desalination process till the wastewater treatment and reuse. Their clients are located in Europe, and their development centre is in the Canary Islands.
Wezen Consulting joins EERES4WATER project as a partner to validate electrical flocculation systems as an energy efficient way for treating industrial wasterwater with high levels of COD or BOD, such as slaughterhouses, food processing industries or leachates.
CARDIFF UNIVERSITY – THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING (CU)
The School of Engineering at Cardiff University is one of the leading engineering schools in the UK recognised for excellence in research and teaching. We are organised into world class research groups which focus on solutions to many of today’s most pressing engineering challenges. We pride ourselves on our vibrant research culture and many of our staff are involved in large-scale, internationally recognised research projects. In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014), we were ranked 1st in the UK for Civil Engineering and 7th in General Engineering, which incorporated our Mechanical and Electrical and Electronic Engineering disciplines, and we were also ranked top in the UK for the impact of our research across all of our disciplines.
ENERAREA
ENERAREA is a Regional Agency for Energy and Environment situated in Interior of Portugal near whit cross border with Spain in center of Portugal.
The main objectives of ENERAREA are to assist the citizens and the technicians of municipality’s areas and councils to promote the use of Renewable energy sources and to optimize the consumptions especially in the public infrastructures. The work program of ENERAREA is focus on sectors which are important for the region aiming to develop the competitiveness of local business and to achieve sustainable development according to the new reality of global consumptions and climate changing.
RESOLUTE MARINE (RML)
Over two billion people suffer from the effects of water scarcity and the vast majority of those affected live in coastal areas in developing countries and remote communities. Seawater desalination is an excellent potential solution, but desalination systems require a connection to a strong and reliable electrical grid for their power supply. Because our target customers typically lack sufficient grid capacity and cannot afford the capital or time required to build and deploy grid-connected systems, Resolute Marine has devised a unique solution to this problem – the world’s first wave-driven desalination system (Wave2O™) that can be deployed quickly, operate completely “off-grid” and supply large quantities of clean fresh water at competitive cost.
UNIVERSITY OF SEVILLE (US)
The University of Seville, which has been awarded the Campus of International Excellence status, offers a wide and comprehensive catalogue of undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees. With more than five centuries of history, the University of Seville is the second largest university in Spain by number of students and the first in Andalusia. The Campus is provided with state-of-the-art facilities, including the most complete virtual platform of all Spanish Universities.
